    I went with my Venezuelan friend on Friday and we were back again on Sunday! We shared the Tequeños and Cachapa and I had the "El Niño" arepa, everything was delicious and very authentic.

    The staff is great and they give you a little arepa with every drink you order. Food is amazing as well! Found this place on accident when it first opened and never stopped going! Xo

    Moderately priced, but great Venezuelan cuisine. The Arepas are amazing, try the Pernil Arepas, guaranteed to make you cry. Also their fried doughnuts and empanadas are out of this world.

    Red sangria is tasty plus they make a good belini. La fresquita is delish. Take advantage of happy hour $5 drinks before 7pm.

    Amazing dish. Pabellon Criollo. Shredded beef with rice, black beans and platanos. Worth every cent.

    Oh man is this place good. Get the Pabellon Criollo-- a heaping plate of deliciousness and wash it down with red sangria.

    Red sangria packs a punch. The steak with plantains arepa is not to be missed. Kale salad gives you some greens before meets + corn cakes.

    Try the Arepa Stuffed With Chicken And Peppers - Delish! Had with Watermelon Gazpacho and White Wine! Have great Sangria and Yucca Fries!

    Arepas were fantastic. Beautiful brunch in the East village without the stress of huge crowds and exorbitant prices.

    While "grass-fed hanger steak" sounds pretty delicious, the meat in the Del Sur arepa had about the consistency of a rubber band.

    Amazing Venezuelan tapas - El nino arepa, Cachapa con pernil and finish it off with the Dulce de lechoza - best dessert!

    Delicious areas, good sauces and a tasty sangria that wasn't too sweet. Happy with this find.

    Arepa con pulpo: Perfect contrast between cool, firm, tangy octopus chunks & warm pliant arepa bun. Also: house red is a very drinkable Mendoza, a steal at $3.50 a glass during Happy Hour

    Despite what the servers say, the arepas are LARGE! Order two if you're really, really hungry. Otherwise, one is plenty.

    Pork Arepas. Yes yes yes. It's good "we've been drinking and suddenly realized we haven't eaten since breakfast" food.

    If you feel too claustrophobic eating at Caracas Arepas just a few blocks north, eat here instead.
